Product(s): Power Apps

Overall Comment:"The first app that I created was from a template and I didn't quite understand what I was doing. I later decided to create something from scratch and discovered the simplicity of creating apps within the Microsoft atmosphere. I found that I could create unique applications with data that could live almost anywhere within Microsoft. This could be OneDrive, SharePoint which is home to my most common form of data - Microsoft Lists. It's easy to point to your data, throw in some buttons for navigation and create some forms and you're off to a great start. "

What do you like most about the product or service?

I think one of my favorite things about Power apps is the community. There are so many YouTube videos and forums out there to help you get to where you need to be to understand how to create apps to help you achieve what you are trying to accomplish. This was extremely helpful when I was tasked to come up with a solution that has a simple user interface that provides the info in a read only environment and end users only needed to action on a few fields and then submit. The community is key when it comes to developing with an unknown tool.
